Translated in full today by our Mideastwire.com, and in part below:

On November 13, the Yemeni Al-Masdar Online news website carried the following report: “Security sources in the temporary capital Aden (south Yemen) said that the detainees of Bir Ahmed Prison, who have been staging a hunger strike for more than three weeks, were transferred to another prison under the supervision of the Emirati forces. The sources continued to Al-Masdar Online that security forces asked the detainees to vacate the prison on Sunday night and prepare for their transfer to another facility, which actually occurred a little before midnight on Sunday/Monday. They then indicated that the masked Emirati officer who goes by the name “Hitler” was present at the prison on Sunday night and informed the detainees in person about the decision to move them to a new facility, where they will be interrogated by the Prosecution.
